Thanks to modern science, it’s now easy to get a superfood nutritional boost. By reducing edible plants and vegetables to a powder form, a quick pinch or spoonful can be added to liquid for instant consumption - no chewing required.
Superfoods are defined by the health benefits that come from nutrient-rich foods. Items such as broccoli, blueberries, avocados and many more all fit into this category.
But what superfoods should you sipping? And even more importantly, what do these powders actually do for your health? Here’s are a few examples and their benefit for you to consider…
Moringa
What is it?
The seeds and leaves from this plant are often used in herbal medicines or as an ingredient when cooking. The most common form it takes is as a green tea, which comes with a distinct flavour and aroma.
Health benefits
Moringa can help to reduce blood sugar levels and cholesterol, which is capable of helping you to lose weight too.
Organic Cacao
What is it?
Similar to cocoa powder, but with lower sugar content and higher nutrients, cacao is best used as a healthier alternative. Cacao is slightly bitter in taste and has a dark chocolate flavour, which is capable of satisfying those with a sweet tooth.
Health benefits
As well as improving blood flow and reducing the chance of blood clots, cacao is helpful in the fight against diabetes.
Turmeric
What is it?
Part of the ginger family, the turmeric plant has a slightly spicy, almost black peppery flavour to it and a mustard aroma. It’s one of the key ingredients in many Indian curry sauces, and has long been used as a tea, and more recently in a number of smoothie recipes.
Health benefits
Turmeric is packed with antioxidants, which can help your body effectively fight diseases. It can also help with brain functionality that keeps you alert and focused.
Açai
What is it?
Derived from the delicious purple berry of the Amazon, açai powder has become increasingly popular in the natural remedy world. It can be added to smoothies, sprinkled over porridge or consumed as a hot or cold beverage.
Health benefits
They’re one of the richest sources of antioxidants around, which is great at keeping your body in peak condition. They help to lower blood cholesterol levels too.
Matcha
What is it?
Of all the green teas, matcha is most highly concentrated form of it. All of the leaf is used, rather than just boiling leaves. Matcha has a wonderful taste to it that is now being used in desserts and candy bars. But most traditionally it’s served as a hot drink.
Health benefits
Matcha is an all-rounder. It can protect against brain and heart disease, and is well-known for its weight loss properties that’ll keep you trim.
